1 YEAR!!!

TODAY makes ONE YEAR for my Sisterlocks!!!! Seems like it has taken a long time to get here lol. I can look back at earlier pictures and see a big difference from where my hair first started off. My hair actually looks more like locks since I chopped off 2-2.5 inches from the ends. They weren't thicking or locking but was actually trying to do so further up the lock, so I cut my hair maybe an .5 in from where my hair is trying to bud. The only thing I've been thinking about these days is adding highlights! Need some sprucing up! Nothing has drastically changed in maintenance, still braiding and banding when I washed. I am no longer using the Sisterlock shampoo. I am currently using Soul Purpose Brazilian Jackfruit body gel/shampoo and for my daily moisture I am using Healthy Locs daily conditioning mist, two items that I ordered from Videolocktician.com, and I LOVE them, my hair always smells good and holds the right amount of moisture. All products have natural ingredience, no alcohol! Visit the site and check out some of those products!

I'm currently due for a re-tightening, which I am getting tomorrow. Was pushed back from Friday due to work issues. So I'll be posting before and after pictures maybe Wednesday!

Here are 1st days pics, 1month pics, 6 months, 9 months and the most recent picture

10 months :D

WOW! 10 months on the 25th of February!! I'm loving every part of my journey! My re-tightenings have went from 4 to 5 weeks, that's a little change but I'm happy about it. Scheduled for my next re-tightening on Saturday but I'm going to push it back a week...been thinking more and more about taking the re-tightening class, which will be close enough to me (B-More) in April. The same month of my anniversary!! I think it will be worth it and cut down on my monthly spending a bit. If I decide to do so, I will still make appointments with my locktician every 4 to 5 months for maintenance. I have been online looking up different hair products for the last few month, a couple have caught my eye on videolocktician.com. Will get them and try them out and let you guys know how they go. As of right now, I am still braiding and banding, bunching, encasing, frizzy, growing, and waiting for them to mature. Still using my daily water spritz and a little bit of Tea Tree Oil for my scalp.



Here's a picture from yesterday from my wash and day old braid out..
